I think a good destiction would be social network and socical media. Media is about celeberty and making money. Network is about conections

I completely disagree with your definition of “media.” There is definitely plenty of media that isn’t about celebrity, and there is also non-profit media. Media actually refers to communication to the masses. A social network is simply one form of social media.
